About This Listing

Spacious one bedroom with large living room and kitchen area. Full kitchen. Bathroom has a tub and shower combination. Bedroom is spacious with large closet and reading lamp. WiFi and flat screen TV with cable.

There is a mini split heater and air conditioner in the living room. When turned on to either mode it takes about TWO MINUTES to either warm up or cool down.

Restaurants and downtown shopping area nearby. We have provided a Chico area map as well as restaurant guide/menus and coupon book for local restaurants.
Lower Bidwell Park is close, just a bike ride away or 5 minute car ride. Upper Park is 10 - 12 minutes by car and absolutely beautiful. Chico has a great Farmers Market every Saturday morning and also on Thursday evening through the summer. The vendors offer local produce which is amazing. There are also several flower vendors that sell some gorgeous bouquets. A smaller market sets up on Wednesday mornings in the summer near Trader Joes. Happy to give suggestions for activities.

This beautiful cottage, along with Phyllis & John, made us feel right at home. Fresh flowers, fluffy linens, a hawks nest right outside our door, all this on a quiet street close to town, who could ask for anything more? Not us! We came to spend the weekend and visit our daughter at CSU. Phyllis made sure to have extra linens out for our daughter's sleepover and both she & John had great recommendations for the area. This is definitely our new go-to place when visiting Chico!

I can't say enough about my stay with John and Phyllis. The cottage is exactly as pictured and is very comfortable and clean. The instructions were very clear on how to work everything down to the Cable/DVD player. Phyllis made it very easy for me to check in and out as my schedule changed a bit and wasn't exactly how I had originally planned. I will be back for sure!

Not sure why there was a problem with the WiFi. I think it had to be the storm as our neighbor said they had to have the Comcast people out. Glad the cable worked well which is thru Comcast but so is the WiFi. Seems to be in order now. Glad that your stay was good.

Phyllis and John are ideal airbnb hosts as evidenced by the many great reviews. We spent 2 nights/3 days at the cottage and it exceeded our expectations. It's comfortable, quiet, safe and suited our little dog Twig perfectly as well!
We appreciated having coffee ready to brew in the morning as well as fruit and yogurt.
Phyllis' floral handiwork was evident through the house, too.
Very nice space and we're so happy we stayed there!

John and Phyllis were great hosts. They greeted us with lots of recommendations for how to enjoy the area. The home was just as they described - very comfortable and well appointed. We would happily return!

This was our first Airbnb rental, and it was great. The hosts were out of town for the first part of our visit, but checked in by phone to make sure everything was okay. The house was very nicely set up for us to stay there. Good attention to detail on things that a guest might need. A few nice touches, like fruit & yogurt, to make us feel welcome. Geat location, almost rural, but close to downtown. No real complaints. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay here. Very convenient setting for our visit to Chico. John and Phyllis were communicative from the start and both the check in and check out were very easy. Had fruit and yogurt there for us both days. They were accommodative with some changes in our plans and having to bring our two young kids. Comfortable setting and furnishings. Private but easy to find. We would definitely stay here again.

Hi Bill,
I have left instructions for the heater/ac unit in my welcome guest information. My husband tells me that someone else mentioned it. Hopefully, with this new bit of information all will be good. Loved the boys "Thank you drawings".
